Re: Latest ConTeXt: No umlauts :-(

[fg@fgbbs.iaf.nl (Frans Goddijn)]

I had a little puzzling problem myself compiling a large doc with the
newer ConTeXt/PDFtex. All seemed fine but the dutch word 'slotscene' with
an accent grave on the first e showed, in the PDF file, a capital S with
an inverted circonflexe ^ on top of it...

I had made sure to have all *.enc encoding files from my earlier
successful ConTeXt/PDFtex setup copied to the current setup. And I
re-checked my psfonts.inf and psfonts.map files where these .enc files are
addressed, even though I don't know if PDFtex uses these at any time.

Then I used the patch that Hans Hagen gave in his earlier message:

 HH> I'll upload a new version. For the impatient: in
 HH> lang-ini.tex change 
[...]
(by the way, the code in that patch looked similar to the one I replaced
with it!)

and recompiled, with identical problematic result in this specific word.

Planning but not wanting to cause Hans any trouble I double checked the
code in my source dodument and saw that in this particular place I used
the high-ascii character ASCII-138 instead of \`{e}

Convinced that this makes no difference, I changed it to \`{e} anyway and
after recompile I saw with great pleasure that the character comes out
perfectly now!!!

So it seems as long as I stick to conventional ways of describing high
ascii output using \" etcetera, I'm safe and successful.

Met hartelijke groet,

FG
